The communications ministry requested Tuesday that all domestic broadcasters investigate whether they are complying with foreign ownership rules after Fuji Media Holdings Inc. said it may have breached regulations in the past.
The development came as satellite broadcaster Tohokushinsha Film Corp., where Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga s eldest son Seigo Suga works, is set to have a license for one of its channels revoked in May. That follows its admission that it violated a rule under the law that requires less than 20% of voting rights in a broadcaster be controlled by foreign shareholders.
